Eliyahu, I've had mixed success with this printer; while the drivers do eventually work, they sometimes require some fiddling. The instructions unfortunately differ from version to version.
Is your system 32 bit or 64 bit? If 32, try version 230. It has .deb files and should work out of the box. If 64, a simple 'alien' does not work. There are dependencies that need to be installed, and you need to symlink the 64 bit directory - sorry, I don't have the instructions in front of me and could find it in a couple of minutes of googling. Also, reboot between attempts. Yes, that should not matter on decent package installations, but it does matter here. - Aviram On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 11:39 PM, eliyahu cohen <[email protected]> wrote: > Apologies if you get this twice, I have a Cannon MF4150 multi-function > printer and a Debian Wheezy box I want to connect.
